Equipment Funding

Equipment Funding

Another key program run by Brainwave is its funding of mobility and rehabilitation equipment

What we are seeing more and more is a requirement for often expensive, specialised equipment to get children out of hospital and back into their home environment to help their recovery. We also see homes and family vehicles requiring expensive modifications to enable children to move about and be integrated back into family life.

While there are a number of funding sources available to children with neurological conditions, there are many children who have requirements that go above and beyond the traditional funding criteria and limits. This is where Brainwave steps in.

Funding applications are reviewed at the end of each month and applicants are notified shortly thereafter.

The funding program is open between February to November each year. Applications received in December and January will be reviewed in February.

Each family’s needs are unique and in fairness, each case is decided individually . For further enquiries contact Brainwave 1300 766 819.
